Baha'i religious FATWA on Killing (murder)

`Abdu'l-Baha began by comparing the Baha'i faith to early Christianity in its focus on spirituality rather than law. He is aware, of course, that there are more than two religious laws in the Baha'i scriptures, unlike the New Testament. That is, a Baha'i shari`ah or code of revealed law does exist. He explains, however, that such laws are actually a form of spirituality and ethics: "they are derivatives of certitude, faith, assurance and mystical insight."

Moreover, these laws deal with personal status matters (marriage, inheritance, etc.) as well as with some matters of what we would call criminal law (not all such crimes were actually public in Muslim societies--murder, for instance, is considered a private affair in which the family of the victim has the option of accepting blood money or demanding that the state execute the perpetrator-- or even of killing him themselves). In this, Baha'i law resembles that of the Qur'an.

Bahai order came to replace of Islam offer??

Dear faryam;

for you to know,

Fatwa فتوا it comes from Arabic root of EFTA افتا ,which means turn light on some thing , IOW, elaborating ,( roshan sakhtan)

therefore,  is not mandatory for whom who don't believe that "Marja"

but in Bahai faith they replace Fatwa in to order, which is mandatory  for adherent to follow or else. as AB-Baha says ,UHJ command with out questions must be obey as GOD word(non sens).  so you are right ,Bahai don't have Fatwa  (offer) .they  replace it with blind obedience(Tghlid)and you proud of it.  just  keep proud of such brilliant laws.you all are good sheeps of Baha. let me hear your sound baaaaaahaaaa

just joking,  keep reading AB-BAH Arabic Monajat(La Ahmad)...........

Bahais dont have Fatwas...

Bahais dont have Fatwas...

especially when framed as such by an ex Bahai whose personal agenda clashed with The Bahai Faith.

Your intentions by the use of such language are clearly not sincere.
